Good morning, musicologists! We feature a brand new playlist today about fire and flame called ‘All Fired Up.’ Not quite an EP, but it may eventually get there! And there’s more, of course.

Here’s your musical lineup:

Today we debut a brand new playlist that does not quite qualify as an EP, but it may yet get there. Time will tell. In the meantime, you’ll be hearing from an eclectic bunch, including Basia, Electric Light Orchestra, The Rolling Stones, Steve Winwood, James Taylor, The Doors, Joni Mitchell, Three Dog Night, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Shawn Colvin, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Patti Smith, Steely Dan, Jimmy Cliff, Bruce Hornsby & The Range, Deep Purple, Harry Nilsson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Stevie Nicks, Tim Buckley, Al Green, The Neville Brothers, Buckwheat Zydeco, The Move, The Shelters, Pat Benatar, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Colvin and more!

4:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter FINAL AIRING!

We say sayonara to our two intrepid composers today who were responsible for some of the Dead’s most memorable tunes. Tomorrow we’ll have a brand new selection.

8:00 p.m. Bob Dylan and George Harrison, The Columbia Studio Sessions, New York City, NY, May 1, 1970

There were a lot of rumors surrounding this particular event. I heard it that they were supposed to hang with Elvis that day but that he stood them up. Then I read that it was the other way around. Elvis had actually stood them up. Either way, the whole Elvis thing was a bust and the boys wound up making some fine music together that day.

They started out as a folk duo during the sixties and wound up writing some classic Grateful Dead tunes, like Dark Star, Shakedown Street, Casey Jones, Fire On The Mountain and many others.

Mostly Open Streaming but With a Twist Today, September 25, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Well, we’re still open streaming, sort of. But today, we must celebrate the life and work of Robert Hunter, fabled lyricist for the Grateful Dead, who passed away yesterday at the age of 78.
